A new bride says she had a picture-perfect wedding day — but judging by her mother-in-law’s social media post, it’s as if she wasn’t even there.
In a post on Reddit’s “Wedding Drama” forum, the bride recounted having a “beautiful” wedding during which “everything went great.” The day after the celebration, she said, her guests showcased the wedding on their social media.
“Today, people are posting pictures, sharing memories and offering congratulations. It’s been really sweet,” the bride wrote.
However, she continued, her mother-in-law’s post about the wedding was a bit puzzling.

“I see my mother-in-law made a post with the caption ‘Blessed,’ which is cute — until I scrolled through the photos. It’s my husband with his dad, his brother, some cousins, her and his sister, her and a friend, the friend and the sister… but not a single photo of me,” she explained.
“Like, who did he marry?” she added.

The bride said she knows her mother-in-law has pictures that include her, so the glaring exclusion has left her feeling “a little thrown.”
She asked fellow Reddit users: “Am I missing something? Is this a thing? Is it weird that my MIL didn’t post a single picture of me from our wedding?”
In the comments section, some readers shared the opinion that the bride’s new mother-in-law was making a not-so-subtle statement with her post.
“MIL pulling a b—- move on day 2,” one person wrote, prompting another to chime in, “Yep. That’s definitely a power play. People who aren’t her post photos to share both of the people who were married.”

But other Redditors chose to give the bride’s mother-in-law the benefit of the doubt, suggesting that she might have left the bride out of the photo roundup in deference to her.

“Isn’t it generally a major faux pas to post photos of the bride, and the wedding in general, before the official wedding photos come back and are posted by the newlyweds themselves? MIL might have been playing it safe by posting a handful of candid shots from her immediate family,” a commenter said.
Another agreed, writing: “She may not want to overstep and leave your first reveal to you. It’s safe to show photos of her immediate family. I don’t believe this has to be a declaration of war.”
Someone else left the bride with a simple piece of advice: “Don’t go looking for a problem.”
